Trouble
Possible cause
Remedy
Linear feeder does not
start when being switchen
on
Mains switch off
Mains plug of the control unit is not plugged in
Connecting cable between linear feeder and control
unit is not plugged in
Fuse in the control unit defective
Switch on the mains switch
Plug in the mains plug.
Plug in the 5-pole plug at the control unit
Replace the fuse
Linear feeder vibrates
slightly
Turning knob at the control unit is set to 0%
Wrong vibration frequency
Attention:
in case a linear feeder for 6000 vibrations/minute is
operated with a 5-pole plug without bridge, the
control unit and the magnet is in danger!
Set the controller to 80%.
Check, whether the code in the plug of the
linear feeder is correct (see type plate and
"technical data" (chap. 1)
After a longer operating
time the linear feeder
does no longer come up
to the conveying capacity
required
Fastening screws of the linear track have worked
loose
Screws at one or two spring assemblies have
worked loose
Magnetic gap misadjusted
Springs are broken
Oscillator has displaced itself towards the counter-
mass
Retighten the screws.
Tighten the screws (tightening torques see
"technical data" (chapt. 1)
Replace the broken springs
Readjust the oscillator
(see chapt. 5)
Linear feeder produces
loud noise
Fastening screws of the side plates have worked
loose
Foreign bodies in the magnetic gap
Retighten the screws
Switch off the linear feeder and remove the
foreign bodies, after that check the magnetic
gap adjustment
Linear feeder cannot be
adjusted to a constant
conveying speed
The spring constant of the oscillating system has
changed. The linear feeder works close to the
resonance point
Readjust the linear feeder. Springs must be
removed. See chapt. 5, adjustments
